Our Resolve to Change

February 24, 2009 Front Page 4 Comments

We’re in the middle of a new wave of civil rights activism. Prop 8 may have passed by a slim margin last November, but it did something that our country didn’t expect…it brought HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people – straight and gay alike – out into the streets, and it brought us together in our resolve to change things.

On March 5, the California Supreme Court will begin hearing a case about overturning Prop 8. Join us in San Francisco and LA that morning to show the judges the strong, popular support for equal rights. You can find more info at http://bamn.com.

Then join us from March 25-30 to march from San Francisco to Sacramento. We’ll call for the repeal of Prop 8, and we’ll meet with communities along the way to hear about their local struggles for social and economic justice. You can find out more about us at http://onestruggleonefight.com.

    Marriage to me should be between a man and a woman.. sorry. Thats what the bible says

  2. WHY says:

    Well i feel that’s how you feel, and your opinion based on your beliefs. The thing is that this a free country and in this free country you should be able to love who you want, do what you want as long as your not physically, spiritually, or mentally hurting anyone else then it should be cool. They said the same thing about slaves when they wanted to set them free…. “it doesnt say that in the bible” but they free….. so what are you really saying?

  3. the truth says:

    I agree…. but the bible was written when??

  4. If you want to see a reader’s feedback :) , I rate this post for four from five. Detailed info, but I just have to go to that damn google to find the missed bits. Thank you, anyway!
